ILLINOIS PARTY: Forming in 1839 was a small company from Quincy, Illinois.
Included in the party were Alvin T. Smith, a carpenter;
Rev. Harvey Clarke and Rev. Philo B. Littlejohn. As Rev. Clarke
could not overtake the brigade of the American Fur Company that
started in 1839, he traveled to Quincy late that winter and induced
Mr. Smith to join the company with the intent of starting an
independent
mission among the Oregon Indians. The members of the party were all
newly married and began their journey with two wagons. At Independence,
Henry Black, a frontiersman, joined them as a driver. Members of the
Illinois Party are noted in the list below with an *IP:

PEORIA PARTY:Another party that had formed in 1839 was the Peoria Party.
Disagreements and hardships took their toll and many members of
the party turned back. The ones that continued on formed into two
separate parties. Some proceeded under the leadership of Farnham
while the remaining adventurers followed Robert Shortess. Those who
followed Thomas J. Farnham, for the most part, reached the Oregon
Country in 1839. Those following Robert Shortess wintered over and
arrived in 1840. Those members who arrived in 1840 are indicated
below with a *PP:

GREAT REINFORCEMENT: A large portion of the Great Reinforcement of 1840 became
residents of what is now known as Salem, and the vicinity thereof
sometime during the years 1840-41. At the time the entire Willamette
settlement consisted of not more than about forty men, chiefly with
Indian wives and half-breed children, from what is now Butteville,
on the north, to the settlement of present day Salem, on the south;
all except four or five settlers at or near the present town of
Wheatland, and a few in Chehalem valley, were located on the east
side of the river, within a small portion of the present county of
Marion.

By late summer, the population in the Valley includes: "American
settlers,
twenty-five of them with Indian wives, 36; American women, 33; children
32;
lay members, Protestant Missions, 13; Methodist Ministers, 13;
Congregational, 6; American Physicians, 3; English Physicians, 1;
Jesuit Priests, including DeSmet, 3; Canadian French, 60. Total

retired due to ill health

"PARRISH, JOSIAH L--Of all the old settlers of
Oregon none commands a greater share of respect than the subject of this
sketch, nor has any individual accumulated a greater amount of experience and
knowledge of this State. Mr. Parrish came to Oregon as an assistant to the Methodist
Missionary Board, and continued the work of evangelizing the Indians for nearly
twenty years. He was born in Onondaga
County, New York, in 1806, and is of Dutch and English extraction. He was
taught the blacksmith s trade, and being a member of the Methodist Church, and
gifted with a desire to proselytize, he became local preacher for that sect in
Alleghany County, New York. The Methodist Missionary Board, as will be seen by
a reference to previous pages, was intent upon forming an establishment in
Oregon, and in 1839 Mr. Parrish volunteered his services, and set out for
Oregon with the missionary family organized by the Rev. Jason Lee, and set sail
for Oregon in 1839, in the ship Lausanne, Captain Josiah Spaulding. The
missionary force consisted of the following persons: Rev. Jason Lee and wife; Rev.
J. H. Frost, wife and child; Rev. Gustavus Hines, wife and child; Rev. William
Kone and wife; Rev. Alvan F. Waller, wife and two children; Dr. J. F. Richmond,
wife and four children; Dr. Ira F. Babcock, wife and child ; George Abernethy
(mission steward), wife and two children; W. W. Raymond (farmer) and wife;
Henry B. Brewer (farmer) and wife ; Lewis H. Judson (cabinet-maker), wife and three
children; Josiah L. Parrish (blacksmith), wife and three children ; James Alley
(carpenter); Hamilton Campbell (carpenter), wife and child ; Misses Maria T. Ware,
Chloe A. Clark, Elmira Phillips and Alniira Phelps, (teachers) ; Orpha Lankton
(stewardess), and Thomas Adams (Indian boy). The above came safely around Cape
Horn and located first at the old mission near the present town of Wheatland. There,
for three years, Mr. Parrish performed the blacksmithing, and was then
appointed missionary to the Indians at the Clatsop Plains, and stayed there
three years. Then returning to the valley he became preacher to the circuit
which extended from Portland to Corvallis, performing these duties in
conjunction with Rev. David Leslie and Dr. W. H. Willson. In 1847 and succeeding
years he preached in the west side circuit, and for a time in Portland. In 1849
he received the appointment of sub-Indian agent from President Taylor, and
served for five years, or until 1854. He was thus the first regularly appointed
Indian agent in Oregon, the circle of his duties extending to all parts of the
then Oregon. In 1854 President Pierce extended his appointment, but owing to
ill-health he was compelled to resign. In 1855 he became a missionary among the
Indians, and visited many tribes, ministering particularly at the Grand Ronde
Agency. For three or four subsequent years he rode a circuit and preached, in
widely varying localities ; but owing to ill -health he was compelled to retire
from active duties, and settled at Salem, his present home, Mr. Parrish is
regarded as one of the best informed individuals, as regards Oregon history,
that is to be found ; and his statements in all things reflect the candid and
straightforward mind of an honest gentleman. His recollections cover an
interesting and extended period in the State's history, and his evidence is
indispensable to anyone who would seek to obtain an accurate knowledge of the
events of early years." [History of the Willamette Valley by Herbert Lang p.604-6]
